The Binance investigation team said that the team used a combination of on-chain tracking and open source intelligence information (OSINT) methods to investigate all ZKasino smart contracts through behavioral network research to find out the parties behind the contracts and the signatories of these addresses. After identifying the suspects behind the smart contracts, Binance informed law enforcement of the identity of the account holders who committed the fraud.
Although the main suspect has been arrested, some of the stolen funds are still being transferred, indicating that there may be multiple perpetrators. (Cointelgraph)
